Methodological clarification

A distinction needs to be made between expenses declared by editors' commitment, which correspond to expenses declared before mark-ups, mark-downs or variations, and eligible for production obligations, and expenses retained, which are the amounts actually taken into account for production obligations after restatement of eligible expenses (possibility of mark-up or mark-down of certain expenses, taking into account deferral possibilities, etc.).
